When seeing prescriptive text, implementors often wants to know the
rationale behind it. If the value of 5 is changed to 1, please mention
and have the authors include in the document why the lower limit is
1s. Is it an arbitrary change? Is this change based on the default value
of BIND's servfail-ttl named.conf option?

Sometimes the reason for decisions is found in the mailing list
archives, but not always.
